1 RATE 200 MODIFICATIONS WITH COMMENTS Gazifère s January 1, 2008 Rates On November 29, 2007, Gazifère filed its Rates reflecting the impact on distribution, load balancing and commodity resulting from its decision D These rates are effective January 1, 2008 and reflect April 1, 2007 gas costs. Gazifère has used these rates as the starting point for its January 1, 2008 Pass-on rates. Gazifère has generated the change in gas costs from the April 1, 2007 under Rate 200 relative to the proposed January 1, 2008 gas costs under Rate 200. This change in costs and rates has been applied to the Rates resulting from the decision D Therefore, the January 1, 2008 Pass-on rates reflect the impacts of the Régie s decision D and January 1, 2008 gas costs. Gazifère is proposing to implement these rates on January 1, Impact on Rate 200 from EB January 1, 2008 QRAM Enbridge Gas Distribution is proposing the following changes to Rate 200 resulting from its EB QRAM application for rates effective January 1, EGD s January 1, 2008 QRAM rates reflect the effects of the forecast gas costs for January 1, Enbridge is forecasting a decrease in its PGVA reference price of $ /103m3 for January 1, 2008 relative to $ /103m3 embedded in its EB October 1, 2007 rates. Gas Supply Commodity The Rate 200 gas supply commodity charge will decrease from cents/m3 to cents/m3 for sales service customers. The Rate 200 gas supply commodity charge will decrease from cents/m3 to cents/m3 for buy/sell service customers. As discussed above, Gazifère has generated the January 1, 2008 Pass-On rate change relative to the April 1, 2007 Gas Costs. Embedded in the April 1, 2007 gas costs was a Rate 200 gas supply commodity charge of cents/m3 and a Buy/Sell gas supply charge of cents/m3. Therefore, from April 1, 2007 to October 1, 2007 customers had a decrease in gas supply commodity costs. Gas Supply Load Balancing Charge The Gas Supply Load Balancing charge will increase. This is the result of higher overall transportation costs for EGD which is offset by lower carrying cost of gas in inventory stemming from the decrease in commodity from October 1, 2007 to January 1, Original :

2 RATE 200 MODIFICATIONS WITH COMMENTS From April 1, 2007 to October 1, 2007, the Rate 200 load balancing rate increased which was the result of higher transportation costs, which were partially offset by lower carrying costs of gas in inventory for that period. Delivery Charge The Rate 200 delivery charge has decreased from October 1, 2007 to January 1, This is the result of the lower PGVA reference price applied to its Lost and Unaccounted for Gas volumes. From April 1, 2007 to October 1, 2007, the Rate 200 delivery rate increased which was the result of higher EGD distribution costs offset by lower commodity related distribution costs for Lost and Unaccounted for Gas volumes. Rider C The projected 2008 PGVA balance results in a sales service credit for Rate 200. Effective from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2008, a credit of cents/m3 will be applied to Rate 200 sales and buy/sell service volumes. Original :
